Introduction:
There are a lot of applications, and
each varies in their functions. There
are productivity tools that will allow
you to create and modify office
documents. In programming, there are
procedural and object-oriented
programming.

Procedural programming uses a list of

instructions contained in a procedure
or subroutine.
Introduction:
Object-oriented on the other hand uses
objects to carry out the problem.

Visual C# is an example of an object-

oriented programming language. It is
one of the application in the Visual
